Good idea: U will need 2 work on range of motion as well as proper exercise 2 do 2 regain what u lost while immobilized. A few visits 4 instruction on a home program, then u need 2 follow ; exercise and work on rom on ur own 4 a month or so. If u don't feel that ur progressing then follow up with pt or ur treating md.
